more like mid flipper

it was good i'm just too stupid for it

good friend of mine. fuck 1-2

[watched a friend play it]

translation was absolutely atrocious (unfinished, inconsistent, full of errors, localised shit that was already localised and made everything confusing, downright incomprehensible at times, everything that could go wrong did) and really held back my enjoyment, but this stuff aside i actually had a great time! the ensemble cast i didn't think was as strong as an "official" danganronpa game has them, but i could definitely see value in this

another one in the "need to give it a fairer shot" camp because when i was about 14 years old i lost to cyrus in the distortion world and had neglected to save the game before. so it sent me all of the goddamn way back to eterna city and i went NO FUCKING WAY AM I GOING TO CLIMB MT CORONET AGAIN ARE YOU KIDDING ME and dropped it then and there

dont bother. play platinum. i remember i played this as a child and when i realised the league was several levels above the final gym i did not even care to finish the game

i need to give this game a fairer shot because i played this on an emulator that deliberately sabotaged pokemon games. so my version was so so so fucking slow and had at least one game-breaking bug that would occur completely at random and it really brought the entire experience down

it is mid as fuck, sir. HOWEVER i do think people demonised this one waaaayyyyy too much at launch. what do i care that the trees arent photorealistic??

NOTHING IN THE FRANCHISE IS EVER COMING CLOSE TO THIS ONE. and yes i realise a lot of this opinion revolves around nostalgia, but isnt that the case for every single pokemon fan's favourite game ever? ahhhhh i love alola so damn much and i am so happy these games exist to fully realise the devs' vision... i've played through it so so so many times... shoutout to when it was revealed hau was the final boss and i honest to god cried because i loved hau so much when i was 13

decidedly the worse version of the gen 7 games, but i still find a place in my heart for this. worth playing even if just for the way better lusamine story arc (and also for "y'all are stupid!")

it was fine

HOENN REMAKES MY BELOVED!!!!! this did SO MUCH for the region! it fills the rival characters AND the evil teams with much-needed personality, and i cannot even begin to tell you how many hours i spent at the contests. it is just so ridiculously good. if you dont like them you can honestly kiss my ass

i watched a full playthrough years ago but had never played the game by myself. the writing on this is so extremely fucking bad - even for pokémon standards - that i found the entire game to be just absolutely unbearable. i do have to commend them on the fairy type and mega evolutions, two complete bangers from the team

i love you babygirl. still fondly remember the team i planned. unova will always be in my heart

this was my first pokemon game so i have a huge soft spot... i adore all about it except the goddamn sky pillar puzzle what did they make that shit so hard for. i emulated the game on the pc at my grandma's house and one day there was a power outage that wiped my entire fucking save out just as i was trying to do that puzzle, which i think was a sign from god
